August Electricity Appointments: five events to keep track of developments in the energy sector.

August brings with it an international calendar featuring some of the most significant events on energy, electricity and smart systems. In a sector undergoing rapid transformation, these events offer an up-close look at the technologies driving electrification, digitalisation and increasingly efficient energy management.

Here at Iria, we’ve put together a selection of congresses and conferences that will focus on electricity grids, energy storage, the integration of renewable energy, power electronics and new charging solutions.

Because every event is an opportunity to discover trends, share knowledge and understand how the energy ecosystem is evolving – an ecosystem that will make mobility more connected, sustainable and ready for the future.

Discover, connect and be inspired to keep charging in style.
